Purple Heart Dugout with Built-in Poker and Wood Pipe
Purple Heart is one of the only woods on earth that’s genuinely, naturally purple — no stain, no dye, just the heartwood itself. Fresh-cut, it starts out a grayish brown and then deepens into that signature violet-purple color within days of light exposure, settling into a rich eggplant tone that’s completely unique to this wood.
Built-In Poker & Matching Wood Pipe
This dugout includes a built-in poker tool that slides into its own compartment, so clearing ash and repacking takes no extra tools. The matching Purple Heart wood pipe fits snugly into its slot, giving you a complete, cohesive one hitter set in a single piece.

Purple Heart: A Genuinely Purple Hardwood
Purple Heart gets its color from natural pigments in the wood itself, not a finish, which is why the color runs all the way through rather than sitting on the surface. Fresh-cut surfaces look brownish at first and darken into deep purple within a few days of exposure to light and air — a completely natural process, and part of what makes this wood so sought after by furniture makers and woodworkers. With continued UV exposure over months and years, the purple gradually mellows toward a deeper brown, similar to how many exotic hardwoods age.
FAQ
Is the purple color real, or is it dyed?
It’s completely real. Purple Heart’s color comes from natural compounds in the wood, not a stain or dye. That’s why the color goes all the way through the wood, not just the surface.
Why does the wood look brown when I first get it?
Purple Heart oxidizes when it’s exposed to air and light, so freshly cut surfaces start out brownish and deepen into vivid purple over the following days. This is expected and part of the wood’s natural character.
How does the built-in poker work?
The metal poker slides into a built-in groove in the dugout and pops out easily for clearing and repacking the pipe. It stays secure and won’t rattle around in transit.
What is the pipe made of?
The included one hitter is carved from matching Purple Heart wood, so it shares the same striking color and delivers a smooth, flavorful hit.
Is this dugout made in the USA?
Yes. Each one is handmade in the USA from solid Purple Heart hardwood.
Picture shows a metal tip for mouth piece but mine came without it. Otherwise a very durable and high end feeling dugout and hitter.
